S.35 Dispersal Authorisation - Richmond Green

📢 Richmond Green Dispersal Order in Place This Weekend

To help prevent anti-social behaviour and keep Richmond Green safe for everyone, a Section 35 Dispersal Order will be in place from 1600hrs on Friday 9 October 2026 until 0700hrs on Sunday 11 October 2026.

The order is being introduced following recent incidents involving large gatherings, underage drinking, drug use and the misuse of fireworks. It forms part of a wider policing and safeguarding operation, alongside youth engagement and diversionary activities delivered with our partners.

Under these powers, officers can:

• Direct individuals causing, or likely to cause, anti-social behaviour to leave the area.
• Require individuals not to return to the designated area for a specified period.
• Seize alcohol from underage persons.
• Seize items linked to anti-social behaviour, including fireworks where appropriate.

Dedicated officers will be on patrol throughout the weekend to monitor and enforce the dispersal order, engage with young people and provide reassurance to residents and visitors.

Please see the attached map showing the authorised area.

Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep Richmond a safe place to live, work and visit.
